Residence 1 Now Sold Out!



Thank You to everyone who has invested in the Triple Crown Community and purchased a condominium. All 46 units in Residence 1 are now sold.

Those of you who were not ready to buy, or who are waiting for the next phase of condominiums, stay tuned. We will be announcing details soon.

 Now that you’ve put a deposit down for your new condominium, make sure you make yourself aware of some expenses you will need to set aside some money to pay before the day that you close if you’re living in or renting your unit.

Closing costs

GST is included with the rebate going to the seller. If the buyer is not living in the unit and not eligible for the rebate they must pay the rebate portion on top of the Selling price. Property Transfer Tax (PTT) is similar in that it is included if you are living in the unit. Those not living in the unit they must pay the PTT on top of the Selling price net of the GST.

You will need insurance for the unit whether living in it or renting it out.

Utility Hook ups. When you purchase a new home, the utilities must be connected for the first time. These include Terassen for gas, BC hydro, and Shaw or Telus for cable and internet.

Legal Fees to your lawyer. Depending on your lawyer, fees for legal costs such as conveyancing can generally run $1000 to $1250. Ask Todd or Justine for referrals if you need one.

Family Life in a Langford Condo

As affordability and availability of single family homes have risen through the last few years, attitudes toward family spaces are shifting. Condo living can be just as fulfilling for the progressive-thinking family as for anyone.  Here are some considerations for families: Space . Obviously the biggest challenge families have is rambunctious tots who move a lot, and all the accoutrements that go along with them — craft supplies, bedding, study spaces, books, and toys, toys, and more toys.

Start with a Condominium

Over the last few years, rising housing prices have outpaced the ability of many first-time buyers to save a sufficient down payment to service a mortgage for a single-detached house. If you are getting tired of paying rent and you would like to own some real estate, there is an alternative. Purchase a condominium as your first home. Doing so doesn’t mean you have to give up your dream for a white picket fence and big garden.

Markets Stable in Victoria BC

“The fact that we’ve seen such a controlled levelling off in the market directly following a year which felt so uncontrollable in terms of demand and pressure on prices illustrates the depth and stability of the Victoria market,” says Victoria Real Estate Board President Ara Balabanian. “An unstable market may have experienced a heavy correction or shift, whereas in our market sales are moderating at a reasonable rate.” The Multiple Listing Service® Home Price Index benchmark value for a condominium in the Victoria Core in October 2017 was $449,176.
